Thanks for your response Going by the censuses I mentioned previously, Mary Gill was born about 1830/31 in Ireland and married Michael Donnelly when she was about 18...their first child was recorded in St Augustine's RC records baptised in Dec 1848...as well as 4 others in following years. There are entries for several other of my relatives in St Augustine's records, just not the ones I'm looking for...(wouldn't you know) found under Gill and/or McGill The births of their children would not be found on Ancestry as they were all before 1869 as far as I know. However marriage records of several of their children have already been found. Mary died in 1887 and was buried at St Mary Star of the Sea Cemetery. Michael died in 1906 age 86 and was buried there also. I have the record for his death...but not hers. ----- Original Message ----- > Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2007 11:23:56 -0400 > From: "RSMoore" <bexsdiva@bellsouth.net> > Subject: Re: [CAN-ONT-PEEL] Mary Gill and Michael Donnelly of > Springfield > To: <can-ont-peel@rootsweb.com> > Message-ID: <002c01c789a9$3ce30de0$6101a8c0@your4dacd0ea75> > Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; > reply-type=original > > What is Mary (Gill) Donnelly's date of birth?
